Roots, Radicals, Rockers and Reggae
You roots, you radicals, you dub to the reggae
You roots, you radicals, you skank to the reggae
Let there be peace in the east, peace in the west
You roots, you radicals and all the rest
Peace up north, peace down south
Peace in the ghettos all round about
We are all in a one and one in all
So throw away the guns and the war's all gone
So throw away the hunger and the war's all gone
So throw away the fighting and the war's all gone
So throw away the grudges and the war's all gone
You roots, you radicals, you rock to the reggae
You roots, you radicals, you dub to the reggae
You roots, you radicals, you skank to the reggae
Love and respect your itren and protect your little sister
And the same shall return to you, my friend
Don't fight against no colour class or creed
For on discrimination does violence breed
We are all in a one and one in all
So throw away the guns and the war's all gone
So throw away the hunger and the war's all gone
So throw away the fighting and the war's all gone
So throw away the grudges and the war's all gone
You roots, you radicals, you rock to the reggae
You roots, you radicals, you dub to the reggae
You roots, you radicals, you skank to the reggae
Comfort the afflicted and keep them from harm
Let age be protected and the infants be strong
Go for it!
You got to pass the bowl and make the food go round
'cause that's the only way to trample crime to the ground
Equal rights and justice for one and all
'cause only through liberty freedom shall form
Don't fight against no colour class or creed
For on discrimination does violence breed
We are all in a one and one in all
So throw away the guns and the war's all gone
So throw away the hunger and the war's all gone
So throw away the fighting and the war's all gone
So throw away the guns and the war's all gone
So throw away the hunger and the war's all gone
So throw away the fighting and the war's all gone
So throw away the grudges and the war's all gone
